Cholesterol Panel
A Cholesterol Panel is an essential blood test that measures your cholesterol levels, including LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol), and triglycerides. These markers help assess your risk of heart disease and stroke. High levels of LDL or triglycerides can increase the risk of cardiovascular conditions, while higher levels of HDL can protect your heart. This test is a key part of preventive care, particularly for individuals over 20 or those with a family history of heart disease.
